Thankful for Every Morning

Something I've been thankful for lately is the beauty of sunrise. These crisp autumn mornings have been particularly stunning as of late, and a recent display brought to mind the passage below from Lamentations.

Lamentations 3:22-26 (ESV)

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;his mercies never come to an end;23 they are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,to the soul who seeks him.26 It is good that one should wait quietlyfor the salvation of the Lord.

Even the darkness is not dark to you, and the night is as bright as the day; darkness and light are alike to you. For you formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in your book were all written the days that were ordained for me; when as yet there was not one of them.
